  • Relied a lot on other feedback from this source and a few other pilots in the hiring process just prior to me. My experience closely aligned with what others have reported here, except that the process was drawn out over about 7 months. I suppose my luck in the timing was just such as the company seemed to be adjusting to some changes, including more aircraft purchase and a boost in hiring. First was the technical interview (conducted virtually). It almost exclusively focused on technical questions about the charts that were sent to me about a week prior to the interview. It was relatively short but quite technical. Each procedure seemed to have at least one aspect that was non-standard or unusual. I made a point to seek out what that might be. Then I raised a few...

    Started with an HR presentation for about an hour. Talking about details regarding the first officer position, and highlighting what training will look like. After was a simulator evaluation in a nearby flight school's RedBird FMX. The thing was hardly working. They give you 5 minutes to get a feel for it, use that time. Began with the MMU7 departure off of 23. Brief use of auto pilot during vectors back around to the ILS 23. No FD or autopilot can be used for the procedures, it was only...

    PlaneSense Technical Interview, First Interview Started off with Scott, Chief Pilot, telling me that we will spend 10 minutes getting to know each other, expectations, questions about the company, 35-45 minutes on the technical part, reviewing 8 approach plates and then do I have any more questions. He normally doesn’t interview anymore, but the pilot who interviews is on maternity leave. Overall it was a great interview, but I knew that I wasn't going to make it to the HR or SIM...

    Technical interview was as described on the website. I didn't get asked any VFR questions - all my questions were in relation to the Jeppesen charts that were emailed to me ahead of time. Interview was about 30 minutes long with the first 10 minutes being get to know you sort of questions, followed by me asking questions. Technical section was about 20 minutes long. Definitely need to know about GCO and how many clicks for IFR clearance and what...

    Interview was very straight forward. After a brief introduction we jumped straight into the plates all of which I was given ahead of time to study. LDA approach KSNA 20R: was asked questions, (view the study guide of this website).  At the end I asked her questions about the company and we talked about what the next steps would be. I was called back for my next interview (HR and SIM) 6 days...

    Quick HR interview portion asking what got me into flying and a scenario in which the captain was unresponsive on a go-around callout. Sim interview was a departure procedure with an ILS hand flown with a go around on a red...

    Best of luck to you all! Once first contacted they will ask about a time that works best for you to do a Virtual Tech Interview. This virtual interview will be regarding all instrument knowledge (and some VFR knowledge). They will send you plates before the virtual interview that they will use. Review, study, and know everything about those plates. If they were to point on any plate and say, "what is that? or what does that mean?" Etc. you should know. Be ready for a scenario with...

    Technical wasn’t bad at all, sent some help plates a week prior. Study them. Got a call 2 days after to schedule the in person HR and Sim eval. Travel accommodations were easy, nice hotels. Was there for about 6 hours. Learned a bit about the company w the presentation. Toured the hangar. HR part was quick just asked some simple questions. Sim was laggy and not a great sim( a local flight schools) overall just a departure and ILS. Nothing too difficult. Just show that you can fly it...

  9. 9. 

    The interview was fairly straightforward. First interview is a technical interview lasting about 20 minutes. They send several charts in advance and they ask about a few of them. Refer to study guide for questions. They fly you out to Portsmouth, NH for the in person interview. That lasted about 4 hours. There was about an hour long HR presentation, hr interview where 4 questions were asked, document review, and a simulator evaluation. The sim consisted of one departure, some vectoring, and...

    Straightforward and similar to the rest. Had a technical interview on Jeppesen charts sent by the company before being invited for an in person interview that was primarily introduction on the company followed by a simple sim...

  11. The information I was looking for regarding PlaneSense was spot on for all the areas, from HR, tech interview, sim evaluation, and interview questions.
